Automatic recorded phone calls

[deanohit]

I love that idea! I'd probably say something like "Can I call you back later, say when you're having dinner?"

Suprised no one has put this up yet:

Nah you can hate the players! People should refuse to do this job. The companies don't do it cos of a high success rate, they just have good returns for the low labour costs involved.

YOU'D BE SURPRISED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE WANT TO SURVEYS.


HERES A TIP FOR ALL U SUCKERS WHO WANT TO DO ONE,

THEY ARE ALL BIASED, THEY ARE JUST GETTING "YES TICKS" IN THE YES BOXES SO THEY CAN THEN SELL SOMONE SOMTHING.

THERE IS NO "TYPE IN WHAT I SAID" BOX.

THEY ARE A WASTE OF TIME.

AND THE MONEYS NOT BAD, BETTER THAN SUPERMARKET WAGES.

The easiest way to avoid telemarketers is to get rid of your landline - who needs one of those in this day and age?

[Curious_AJ]

yeah, i never use the land line unless I'm calling someone back for something, which I never do...

everyone always knows to contact me on my cellphone..

oh, and kind of on the topic... as my job (at hells pizza) I have to do a thing called "call-backs" .. every night I have to do at least 3 of them..

I have to call back people who had deliveries throughout the day and ask them a few silly questions like "was your meal on time?" or "would you like to see anything improved with our service?" etc etc...

I get a few people who are just plain rude like "NO! *click*" and then some who are happy to answer them "sure sweety I have a few mins" and some who just go "sorry, love, I'm in the middle of something or I would" <-- that's better than having a rude comment flung at you...

even though it's not a huge part of my job, it's integral for us to get that feedback so we can better our service and food for the people...

just my 2cents..

Subtle... I like it

In the states the telemarketers apparently have automated dialing, so the machine just dials number like crazy and then "plugs in" the operator when contact is established.
You can fuck that system majorly by recording the "number not in use"/"invalid number" tone on your answering machine - since if the system picks that up it takes your number off THE LIST...

As for needing feedback - sometimes I get a feeling that a lot of feedback is collected and archieved never to be used again.

well, in some companies yeah.. but hell's competes against other hell's.. lol.. like our store cometes against the Birkenhead store, and we take things like "the pizza is too greasy" and fix it. so many things that are new "work place policies" are due to the info gotten in that god forsaken call-back book.

Don't even let them get that far... even if it is a real person telemarketer...


"Hello I from Sky..." Click

"Hello I am doing a surv..." Click

"Hello do you need your chimney..." Click (ferk sake we don't even have a chimney that needs cleaning)

"We have a very important message..." Click

"Hello I am from Lotto, you have..." Click...... bit quick the phone there Nighthawk!

... what a roaring success... "better than supermarket wages"???? Come on up - the weather's lovely...

[ManDownUnder]

**************Fuckers************

YES PLEASE!!! WHERE??? WHERE????

[Gremlin]

I have let the ones trying to seel me some thing go through their whole sales pitch before then when they asked if I wanted to sign up, I replied "oh, you want to sell me something, I thought you were another debt collector!" Then hung up. They don't call back after that.

I MUST try that next time...

I have done the following one, was quite funny:
Telemarketer: Hi, I'm calling from blah blah, blah blah
TM: How are you doing?
Me: Was great, but getting worse.
TM: (for some reason she actually followed this up) Oh, why's that?
Me: Coz you're on the other end.
TM: (nervous laughter) oh, I guess you don't want to speak to me?
Me: No *click*

They did pull a good one on me once tho. I hung up quite quickly, got phoned back, "Hi, we seemed to have been cut off back there" I was speechless... pity... anyway, I just hung up again.

Dude thats gonna be filed next to "better than a kick in the teeth" hahaha. There's so much better ways of making money. I'm not knocking anyone who does or has (especially AJ, KB discount miss?) but I've never worked at a gas station or pizza place or supermarket etc. You could try pinching (borrowing, we always return them) a few road cones. Blocking off the shop car-parks near a concert and selling the spaces for $20. If the shop owner turns up slip them a 'hundy and let them know their car will be watched like the crown jewels till they come back. Never had a complaint.

Sooo many ways to make cash if you've got a day/night up your sleeve.

I prefer to pay my own way.
